We will create accounts on the Art100 wiki for all students in class tonight. We'll go over the basics of wiki editing and get started on making "Profile" or "Home" pages for each student. This page will be an "art project" in its own right, as well as the Home Page from which each student makes links to all their other projects this semester.
Paper - 8-1/2 x 11 white, unlined, not torn from a spiral pad - a few sheets. Larger paper is even better.
We will draw! It will be easy! It will be fun! It will be painless!
Project Directions: given in class.
